  • As per most Centropolis establishments, Bleu is gorgeous. A ridiculously tall ceiling with huge picturesque chandeliers that adorns it will be the first thing you'll notice walking in... then the aesthetic of Bleu.... beautiful interior design with elegant tables and chairs that provide you with comfortable seating. I'd seriously recommend this place as an intimate go to place with a significant other or small gathering of close friends. I would have liked to have seen it at night but my visit was for lunch midweek and it was dead quiet! During my lunch only 3 other tables were seated which brought their lunch rush ... to a total of 8 patrons. Not exactly killing it and hopefully not a preview of things to come with my meal. Bleu serves modern Lebanese cuisine, I was excited to try this. Lebanese food is my second favorite type of cuisine and I'm easy to please. The Shish Taouk plate appealed to me and I upgraded the side salad to a fattouch and Lebanese potatoes. The portion I received was reasonable and we ended up waiting about 10 minutes for our meals to come to us. Our waiter was friendly and on point but I can't state if the service would this ideal if there were far more patrons to be serviced. I was very impressed with the quality of the food, the Shish Taouk was of high quality with the cuts of meat tender but at the same time the skin ends crunchy and flavorful. The fattouch was really good with just enough dressing to pull it off without killing it. The Lebanese potatoes were excellent. My only qualm would be the pricing, which would perhaps explain the lack of patrons during the lunch I ate here. It is moderately more expensive than the competition would serve. While it may be true Amir, Basha or Boustan may not serve in such a gorgeous environment, the same plate I received would probably have cost me about $11-12 at most elsewhere. I ended up paying close to $20. Perhaps the extras to get a fattouch salad and a small garlic dip increased the price I'd however state that the fattouch salad shouldn't cost anything extra and the fact I can't have a large garlic dip (which was excellent BTW - size was too small for my meal) to accompany my meal very disappointing. Simply put, to pay extra for garlic dip for Lebanese food would be about as fair as paying money to be provided with utensils to eat. There's no just cause for that and for that I'll subtract a star from the rating. I'm not a fan of the nickle and dime practice. If they'd make their price-point a little more manageable, it would serve them well. These extra aren't desirable and it's obvious to see when their lunch rush don't even and up to 10 patrons in a place that can serve over a hundred. The quality of food simply here doesn't meet the flow of patrons coming in. Especially when across the street you find Juliette & Chocolate with a line-up that extends to outside in the dead of winter for AT BEST, mediocre desserts.
